They're hungry, ambitious, and passionate about delivering results for their clients.

• Support the CEO in coordinating with internal and external stakeholders.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency and anticipate the CEO's needs.
• Conduct ad-hoc marketing tasks such as sales outreach, data entry, social media messaging.

Key Qualifications

• Proven experience as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, or in a similar administrative support role.
• Exceptional written and spoken English communication skills.
• Strong organizational skills with keen attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities independently with minimal supervision.

• Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive mindset.
